Bond Arms congratulates Robert of Pecos, Texas, who became the very first owner of the revolutionary, patented Bond Arms LVRB. To make the occasion even more memorable, Gordon Bond, CEO, personally delivered the rifle and spent the day on the range showing everything the LVRB is capable of.

The event was not just another firearm transfer; it was a truly unforgettable Bond Arms experience. Robert even brought his own Tannerite, making for a day of ringing steel, sending rounds downrange, and blowing up a few targets along the way.

Bond Arms thanks Smokey Briggs and the Pecos Rifle & Pistol Club for providing a safe range environment, and to Eddie and Alex of E&G Guns for handling the firearm transfer. Read more

BELLEVUE, Wash. — The plaintiffs in Jensen v. ATF, a challenge to the National Firearms Act (NFA) supported by Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), today submitted a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Department of Justice (DOJ) seeking clarity in the case after a judge last week ruled the remaining registration scheme under the NFA was unconstitutional.

Last week, a judge for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled that the remaining registration scheme for short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, any other weapons (AOW’s) and suppressors under the NFA is unconstitutional and gave the government one week from the date of the ruling to file a stay pending appeal. The government failed to meet the judge’s deadline, and the permanent injunction went into effect earlier this morning. It should be noted, however, that the government has 60 days from the date of judgment to file an appeal.

“We share in the liberty community’s excitement in the receipt of this permanent injunction, and that the government did not seek to have the initial stay extended,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “With the massive first step of having these elements of the NFA struck down now in hand, we need guidance from the government on all the details that will come with law-abiding Americans seeking to avail themselves of this injunction. To better help educate anyone covered under the ruling, Plaintiffs and their counsel determined the best path forward was to ask the ATF and DOJ directly about how the government plans to comply with the court’s judgment. We’re hoping for a speedy response so the public can better understand how this ruling affects them.”

The letter asks for a response to five separate questions:

1. Will the Government be providing guidance to regulated entities and individuals on how it plans to ensure compliance with the injunction?
2. If the Government will be providing guidance, what form will it take, and when will it be provided?
3. Does the Government intend to continue enforcing the enjoined provisions of the NFA against entities or individuals who are not covered by the injunction?
4. If so, what will the Government do to ensure that it does not seek to enforce the enjoined provisions of the NFA against entities and individuals across the country who are covered by the injunction?
5. If the injunction is later stayed, modified, dissolved, or otherwise made ineffective, how will the Government treat NFA items made or transferred while the injunction was in effect?

“Plaintiffs met with counsel over the course of the day and felt the best move for their members, supporters and the public at large is to ask direct questions to the government as it relates to the ruling,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “It’s much better to get answers straight from the source than to rely on second- and third-hand information online. We’re hopeful we receive a quick response from the government so the public will be better educated on what is – and is not – allowed under the injunction.” Read more

The injunction in Jensen v. ATF, a case supported by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), is now in effect after the government did not seek to extend the stay of the ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas by last night’s deadline.

Last week, the court ruled that the remaining registration scheme for short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, any other weapons (AOW’s) and suppressors in the National Firearms Act (NFA) is unconstitutional and gave the government one week from the date of the ruling to file a stay pending appeal. Given the government failed to meet the judge’s deadline, the injunction was therefore put into effect.

“We’re thrilled that Americans are one big step closer to being free of the unconstitutional NFA registration scheme,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “While the excitement of the moment is palpable, it’s important to remember that the government still has time to appeal the ruling, so it’s not quite time to break out the champagne. There are also numerous outstanding questions as to how the injunction will be interpreted by the federal government and how both the people and affected arms will be treated, both now and in the future. We are working closely with counsel to determine the answers to these questions and will most certainly pass along any new information to our members and supporters as it’s received.”

Starting in 1934, the NFA established a $200 tax and registration regime on certain classes of firearms including silencers and short-barreled rifles, purportedly drawing from Congressional authority to levy taxes. When President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and eliminated the $200 tax on those arms last year, SAF and its partners filed three lawsuits challenging the remaining registration requirements, because without the tax, Congress’ reliance on their taxing power is no longer justifiable.
